Andrew passed away unexpectedly from natural causes shortly after midnight this morning in Los Angeles.
We have lost a husband, a father, a son, a brother, a dear friend, a patriot and a happy warrior.
Andrew lived boldly, so that we more timid souls would dare to live freely and fully, and fight for the fragile liberty he showed us how to love.
Andrew recently wrote a new conclusion to his book, Righteous Indignation:
I love my job. I love fighting for what I believe in. I love having fun while doing it. I love reporting stories that the Complex refuses to report. I love fighting back, I love finding allies, and?famously?I enjoy making enemies.
Three years ago, I was mostly a behind-the-scenes guy who linked to stuff on a very popular website. I always wondered what it would be like to enter the public realm to fight for what I believe in. I?ve lost friends, perhaps dozens. But I?ve gained hundreds, thousands?who knows??of allies. At the end of the day, I can look at myself in the mirror, and I sleep very well at night.
Andrew is at rest, yet the happy warrior lives on, in each of us.

pretend to be sad/respectful or whatever itt

It is sad when families and friends lose those they care about. Hopefully, no one will try to take his place in "pioneering" a form of supposed journalism that works mostly by grossly misconstruing events, if not outright slander.

My gut reaction was "good riddance". His public persona was HORRIFIC. He is literally many times on vid lying over many topics. He was quite frankly a sum of all the BS right wing nonsense that knows it is BS.

My more nicer side wishes such a person was not doomed for all his persanal demons to choose the side of the Rush, the Beck, the Fox News. The owner of Fox News used to make up news stories for the media in the name of Nixon to make him look like a saint. AB was just another hand me down of that mentality.

I choose not to celebrate nor nor feel bad over people like this. But, if he chose to be the bigoted, lying, spinning side of the coin I tend to lean towards "good riddance".

I think he leaves behind 3 or 4 kids and a wife. I hope they will be well off from here.

This is some hack that published and publicized an "expose" implying that ACORN was involved in criminal activity, and on the strength of said documentaries the entire organization was permanently dissolved. Every subsequent state and federal legal investigation (5 total) found that there was absolutely no evidence of wrong-doing by the organization, and that the videos were selectively edited to suggest criminal activity. He later, posted clips of a speech given by a federal employee calling her a racist, which led to her immediate termination and several days of humiliation on all national media. The rest of the speech transcript (and video footage) demonstrated that he had deliberately accused her of believing the exact opposite of what she actually said in the speech, which was about the evils of racism and how she did not harbor such views.

For this, many conservatives celebrated him as a hero. I don't understand either.

Shirley Sherrod is REALLY going to go after his money now, rumor is she is going to continue with the lawsuit. So...they probably won't be well off now.

Oh, so he's a "conservative" version of Michael Moore.
See, nice and simple explanation.
Thanks.

I'm sure all those across the internets today, those who blasted mightily with their great moral swords about people taking the deaths of Bin Laden & Gaddafi "lightly" are showcasing the same behavior over Breitbart's death.

There are people on Twitter who think Breitbart was killed by Obama. Two problems:

1. Why would Obama waste his time sending a goon squad after this guy?

2. He had a history of heart problems, not to mention was an alcoholic and was a known cocaine abuser in the past. Also coupled with supposed rage issues and obesity, and you have the perfect storm for someone who would die as young as he did.
